It was twenty meters long and could carry four V-wing airspeeders under its arching wings. These transports were similar in shape to the airspeeders they carried, but much larger in size. The V-wings were carried externally, and could be accessed through retractable docking tubes, as they were not sealed for space flight. As such, pilots travelled onboard the transport while in space.[1] The V-wing transport was unarmed and thus had to depend on starfighters such as X-wings and E-wings for protection.
